11. Annually or biannually reassess the valuation and conditions of the district commercial structures providing for safety, fairer assessments, and a better planning data base. Complete a market study of needed office, retail, and food uses for the Cornerstone at least once every four years, with an update every two years. 12. Create road side insignias or logos to identify the Cornerstone district entrances. 13. Encourage businesses to open for early morning uses and late afternoon shopping by neighbors before and after work. 14. Install a variety of large street trees and flag poles along the public right-of-ways within the Cornerstone in order to visually soften and unify the architectures and to provide summer color and shade. To give the corners more of a "sense of place", light the trees in the winter. 15. Require at least one multi-story, brick and glass long-lasting landmark type building at each Cornerstone corner. 16. Create a neighborhood atmosphere for the Cornerstone. In cooperation with the merchants chamber groups, orient community festivals and events to the Cornerstone neighborhoods and residents. 17. Continue to regulate the location and number of street vendors with regard to visibility, neighborhood safety, maintenance, and City liability. THE LAND USE CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE CORNERSTONE Surrounding the Cornerstone (and fundamental to the Cornerstone areas) are the mixed density residential developments with higher density housing nearer the intersection and with single-family development within 1 to 2 blocks of the corner. Without this concentration of residential users, neither the mix of uses on the corner nor integral transit/bus stop work well. The intersection is the visual access to the new or redesigned projects, parks, and the residential neighborhoods which surround it. The Roseville Cornerstone plan stresses the use of human scale development, transit stops, and connection to the residential community through visual corridors and sidewalk/pathways. The plan seeks to design uncluttered, well designed street edge development - a type of parkway image at each intersection - encouraging pedestrian access and entry to stores while providing immediate and convenient access into the interior of block. Building heights and mass should be considered within the architectural context of the first ring suburb. In the Cornerstone areas, buildings should not exceed 3 stories above grade except in planned unit developments. The taller buildings should be planned for comers where other multi-story buildings already existing such as along Highway 36, but not in the primary 1 and 2 story residential areas. 6
